Full respect to former LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy for doing something different, and for inspiring people to stop treating their photos as disposable commodities, but Jesus man, would it have killed you to do something about the neck beard before going on camera? Via Consequence of Sound:

“I don’t know what I’m doing, but that’s what I’m excited about,” Murphy told Rolling Stone recently. “Now I’ll be able to call Ron Howard, which is super weird. This is the beauty of having been in a band that did well enough, I guess. You have access to something as crazy as this.”

This photo-inspired short film actually sounds like a really neat idea, but we’re having trouble getting over the idea that we’re supposed to send pictures of our friends and family to a man who looks like he spends his days hanging out in front of a liquor store..
